Under the auspices of the Col-lege-
Year-In-India program, Dave
Beek, a college junior from George,
Iowa, will spend the academic year
of 1964-65 in India engaged in lan-guage
study in an Indian univer-sity.
Previously, Beek had planned
to study in India under the
SPAN (Student Project for Amity
Among Nations) program. Feeling,
however, that the College-Year-In-
India program would offer a long-er,
more concentrated period of
study, he decided upon that pro-gram.
Under the program Beek will
spend this summer in preparatory
sessions at the Inter-University
summer session on South Asia in
Berkeley, California.
He will then fly to India, enroll
in one of three Indian universities
(Delhi university, Benaras Hindu
university or Osmanian university
in Hyderabad) and pursue a three-part
study program for the aca-demic
year.
Beek expects to enroll in the Os-mania
university in Hyderabad.
Here he will study a second-year
language, either Hindi or Telugu
and take an optional course in
rural sociology.

Peterson Leads
Chapel Program
The "Becker Amendment" will
be the topic for Dr. Walfred Peter-son's
chapel presentation next Mon-day.
This amendment, introduced by
Representative Frank J. Becker
(Rep.) New York, is intended to
counter the supreme court deci-sion
on the constitutionality of
prayer in public schools, and states
in part:
"Nothing in this Constitution
shall be deemed to prohibit the
offering, reading from or listening
to prayers or biblical Scriptures,
if participation therein is on a yob
untary basis, in any governmental
or public school, institution or
place."
Dr. Peterson, professor of poli-tical
science, will discuss this
amendment in connection with the
traditional Baptist position of re-ligious
liberty and separation of
church and state. He will take a
position opposed to the amend-ment,
standing with the Baptist
Joint committee on Public Affairs
and with most Protestant church
groups.
On the other hand, Catholic
groups, on the whole, have given
their support to the measure and
some evangelicals have spoken in
favor of it.
It is likely that church groups
across the country will be taking
a stand on the issue during the
coming summer months. "For this
reason," Peterson stated, "the col-lege
community should be aware
of what the amendment is."
the same number of credits that
would be earned in a single aca-demic
year in the United States.
These credits will be transferred
to Bethel.
Dave Beek explains to SPAN
ner, Bill Swenson, the next year
he will spend studying in an In-dian
university. Under the College.
Year-In-India program, instead of
SPAN as he had originally plan-ned,
Beek will pursue a three-part
study program for the 1964-65 aca-demic
year.
suppositions: the present system is
not conducive to the development
of moral integrity and the power
of peer influence may be used to
build character.
A relatively recent variety of
physical violations reflects the fact
that a significant number of stu-dents
put their personal interests
before those of the group. Evi-dences
of thievery, cheating and
plagiarism are more obvious ex-amples
of the violations of stan-dards
set by the administration and
student government. These actions
make group activities less mean-ingful
and efficient as well as dull
the moral sensitivity of the vio-lator.
More seriously, as David John-son
points out, "The prevailing
attitude seems to excuse and
overlook wrong-doers and justify
as 'acceptable' any behavior not
'caught' by the administration."
This type of self-centeredness
seems alien from the Christian
values we extol.
History reflects the ineptness of
attempts to legislate character. Yet,
President-elect Bob Beckstrom re-minds
that "most educators agree
that the greatest force affecting
the student is peer influence."
The central question is: will this
minimal proposal for group action
develop within individuals the re-medial
character traits we need?
The adoption of the system,
say its supporters, will furnish a
continuing awareness of personal
responsibility. Secondly, the stu-dent
body would receive a larger
voice in disciplinary policy.
The deeper sense of subordina-tion
of personal goals for those of
the community could be influen-tial
in developing value systems of
lasting significance. More tangible
benefits for collegiate days might
include more un-proctored exams,
library privileges and dormitory
freedoms.
The proposal is not intended to
be a quick, easy or complete solu-tion
to the campus moral problems.
The student who refuses the op-portunity
to make more of his own
decisions is merely postponing his
social responsibility. If accepted as
an attitude rather than a system,
it could prove to be a significant
forward step.
Mogck Directs
Music Festival
The Commencement music fes-tival
is scheduled for Friday even-ing,
May 22, at 8 p.m. in the col-lege
fieldhouse.
The concert this year will fea-ture
the cantata, "The Holy City,"
by Alfred Gaul, and will be pre-sented
by the Festival Choir under
the direction of Oliver Mogck. The
Festival Choir is composed of mem-bers
of college choir, male chorus
and women's choir.
Solo, duet and quartet parts will
be sung by Bethel students and will
include the following: Kent Lund-holm,
Doris Swanson, Pat Jaynes,
Cliff Penner, Frances Malmsten,
Karen Seaberg, Patti Wahlen, La
Von Brauer, Donna Swanson, Vern
Lewis, Marilyn Fahs, Stan Olsen,
Glenda Jorgensen, Coy Hofer and
Gladys Holmberg.
The text of "The Holy City" is
quite largely based on scripture,
particularly those that speak of the
promises of heaven to those that
have trusted Christ as Saviour.
On Thursday, May 21st, Dr.
Walter Wessel will bring a chapel
message on the text of "The Holy
City" for the purpose of enhanc-ing
the understanding of the mes-sage
of this musical presentation.

Campus Needs Changes
Of Proposed Honor Plan
The honor system makes only two major changes from
the present system we live under at Bethel. One, it emphasizes
placing the interests of others above our own and two, it gives
students a voice in disciplinary action and policy. Since these
are the important changes from the status quo, these are the
issues we should consider when voting.
By making each individual responsible for the interests of
all the other students on campus, the honor system under-scores
the Christian principle that the interests and rights of
other people should come before our own. It does this by re-quiring
a violator or an observer to see that violations of other
persons' rights do not go unpunished.
Students are not putting the interests of others before
their own when they cheat on an exam, make noise in the
dorm during study hours or take money from another per-son's
room. When a student does this, he is saying that "my
good grade is more important than the grade of those who
studied for the test; my fun in the dorm is more important
than my roommate's study time; and my having money is
important enough to empty someone else's pocket to get it."
A person who sees someone cheat or steal is probably
not thinking about other people's interests either. For him it
is more important to stay away from the trouble than to keep
someone from robbing others of their test grades, study time
or money.
But you ask, "Do a significant number of people at Bethel
violate the rights of others for their own interests? Maybe we
don't need the honor system." The answer appears to be "Yes."
For example, in Edgren dormitory many valuables have been
stolen this year and in sufficient quantity to prompt a surprise
search by the dormitory council for the stolen goods.
And in Bodien someone has been helping herself to
others belongings. Just last week a gruesome poster hung in
the hall with the caption, "Help Us Stop the Thief!" But in
a day or two the poster was gone and five more dollars had
been taken.
In the academic realm, too, Bethel students put their
own interests above those of others. The results of the Columbia
university questionnaire on disciplinary problems, which a
sampling of 72 Bethel students filled out, suggests that Bethel
has a higher percentage of copying from another student dur-ing
a test, plagiarizing, overcutting classes, underlining or
marking library books and taking books from the library with-out
checking them out than schools of comparable size with
or without an honor system.
From the amount of misappropriation and academic cheat-ing
that goes on at Bethel, perhaps one could safely say that
an honor system that places the responsibility on each individ-ual
for seeing that these things do not go on is needed. The
present system does not seem to encourage students to think
of others' rights and interests before their own.
The other important change an honor system brings to
the campus is a voice for the students in disciplinary action
and policy. Presently faculty and administration can bring
any punishment upon a student, including expulsion, with-out
allowing the student a chance to appeal the decision and
without a set procedure which guarantees a fair hearing or
accurate records of the proceedings.
Under the honor system this situation would be remedied
by standard disciplinary procedure and opportunity for ap-peals
of decisions by lower bodies to the honor board and the
college president. Thus a student could never be punished
without an opportunity to defend himself.
We each have the opportunity to vote on the honor system
May 20 and 21. Many will vote against legalism and squealing
and forget the needed major changes that the system attempts
to make. Although imperfect, the honor system is definitely
needed at Bethel. Let's vote for it.
Letter:
`r Dictionary's Dated
Dear Editor:
The central dictionary in the
library's east lower level is next to
useless. With so many other books
to tote, I, for one, do not find it
convenient to carry an dequate dic-tionary
to the library each time I
study there.
On previous occasions of use, I
had noticed that the dictionary
seemed somewhat dated. However,
when I recently happened to notice
the insert of automobile types be-tween
pages 156-7, I was shocked
—turning to the copyright page, I
was further shocked to see the
date: 1913!
I believe that the tremendous ad-vances
and developments of the
last fifty years should be recogniz-ed
enough to merit the replace-ment
of this antiquated volume,
even if replaced with a briefer edi-tion.

the board than with honor. Some of next fall's plans include
maintaining two touring groups
and expanding the program. A dra-matic
worship program will be add-ed
consisting of oral interpretation,
a mixed quartet, a speech trio and
a pulpit drama.
Pulpit drama is a sermon in dia-logue
form presented by three
men, one representing God (Good),
one the Devil (Evil), and the other
(Humanity). Two sermon topics,
"Salvation" and "Commitment,"
will be used. This worship pro-gram
will use regular audience par-ticipation
as in a regular worship
service, but the tour group will
lead the service.
The scripts are being prepared
to contain a combination religious
and patriotic theme so the groups
can perform in high school pro-grams,
service clubs and military
chapels.
Rott has expressed his appre-ciation
of the "team" spirit of the
tour groups. He feels this was a big
factor in the success of this year's
tour and will make it possible to
expand and progress even further
next year.

Roy Schuessler, voice teacher at
the University of Minnesota is the

also has a solo part.
Some of the numbers include
Beethoven's "Hallelujah Chorus"
from the "Mount of Olives," The
"Omnipotence" by Schubert, "Five
Mystical Songs" by R. Vaughan
Williams and Haydn's "The Hea-ven's
are Telling." Among the
chorus are several Bethel faculty
members and students.
collegiate exchange committee. He
stated that the main objective of
such a committee would be to estab-lish
initial contacts with other col-leges
and universities in the im-mediate
area and to "get the ball
rolling for next year."
At the present time, there is
little or no social and intellectual
contact between the colleges and
universities in this area. An in-ter-
collegiate exchange commit-tee
would promote academic and
social exchanges. Halvorsen cited
particularly the possibility of ex-changing
performing groups.
Bob Beckstrom then took the
podium to present the judiciary
board amendment in its revised
form. Shying away from the word
judiciary, the authors changed ju-diciary
board to honor board and
defined its jurisdiction as being a
court of appeals primarily.
As the senate began to discuss
the amendment, Mike Rynkiewich,
made the important point that for
such a system to work every stu-dent
would have to support it, not
just half of the student body.
Lowell Gause, an interested, vo-cal
spectator, then asked "How
does squealing enhance a person's
character?" Dave Johnson, co-au-thor
of the amendment countered
that reporting is basic to the sys-tem.
Students come to Bethel volun-tarily,
understanding the standards
here. Gause replied that the system
appeals to the idealistic student
who believes in the honor system
and the student who halfway likes
to tattle.
Additional comments made
during the evening were that in
operation the system would be
legalistic; the system would also
lead to spiritual competition
among some. Although the sen-ate
passed the amendment 28 to
one with two abstentions, it ob-viously
passed the amendment
only to give the student body
the opportunity to decide whe-ther
or not they want it.
President Sorley closed the meet-ing
with an analysis of the year.
He said that there had been much
"busy work," but that a lot had
been accomplished. Some of these
things were the purchase of a mas-cot,
formation of a publicity com-mittee
(however feeble), sponsor-ing
a United fund drive and co-operating
with the alumni in a
Career week.

Who's Who List
Who's who this year? Students
selected this year for Who's Who
included five juniors: Mary Bang,
Bob Beckstrom, June Erickson,
Dave Johnson and Judy Van Warn-beke.
Nine seniors are listed in Who's
Who: Ed Carlson, Dean Dahlquist,
Pat Foty, Bryce Krohn, Carole
Lundquist, Dan Martinez, Karen
Neslund, Bob Sorley and Iry Stauf-fer.
This is the third year that
Bethel has participated in the
program sponsored by Who's
Who Among Students in Ameri-can
Universities and Colleges.
The names of these students, a-long
with others from colleges
and universities from around the
nation, will be listed in the or-ganization's
annual publication.
A student-faculty committee does
the initial screening of candidates;,
then these are voted on by the
upperclassmen. The names of
those selected by student ballot-ing
are then sent to the sponsor-ing
organization, which usually ap-proves
all of the candidates chosen
by the school.
Selected students must qualify
in three areas. They must exhibit
leadership or contribution in school
activities, including academic life.
They must evidence good citizen-ship
in campus life. Finally, they
must show promise of future use-fulness.
Student Who's Who functions
for much the same purpose as
Who's Who in America, the or-ganization
which gives recogni-tion
to major leaders in Ameri-can
life. Student Who's Who
gives an opportunity for college
leaders to be recognized on a na-tional
scale.
Students selected to Who's Who
benefit from having their names
listed in a nationally read publica-tion.
This listing can be used as a
reference for future vocational
plans.
New campus plans are nearing fulfillment! Construction will begin on July 1 on the seminary plot,
where six buildings will be erected: a chapel, library, social center, multi-purpose classroom and administra-tion
buildings. The new seminary should be ready for occupancy by September of 1965, and the college by
1967-8.
Seminary Construction
Commences on July 1
Dwight Jessup, Eugene Johnson and President Lundquist discuss
plans for the new campus with the architect. Embodied in these plans
are intangible ideas and characteristics and principles of the Bethel
community, such as variety, spaciousness, unity, openness, originality,
practicality and natural beauty.

Since the ice went out three
weeks ago, the ducks have returned ,
to Lake Valentine, site for Bethel's
new campus. And frolicking goph-ers
come out of their holes.
A hawk soars over the grounds
and the men who are clearing the
grounds have noticed that he has
lost some feathers from his right
wing, perhaps because his appetite
was bigger than his talons.
Those lively evidences of
spring, however, have not ended
a silent winter. The woods and
hills around Lake Valentine
were alive all winter with the
drone of power saws and the
pounding of axes which were
clearing the new seminary site,
where building is scheduled to
begin in July.
The seminary complex will be
located in a small valley which is
about three-quarters of a mile from
the main road. The hills surround-ing
the area are the highest on
campus and command an expansive
view of Lake Valentine.
Six buildings will constitute the
seminary plot. The chapel (80 x 62

ft.) with recording studio, lecture
hall, preaching stalls and a sanctu-ary
seating 300 people will domin-ate
the valley.
Seminary library will feature
an informal reading area with a
fireplace and "easy" chairs. A
rather extensive theological col-lection
of 70,000 volumes is plan-ned.
A large (125 x 55 ft.) multi-pur-pose"
building will have a hand-ball
court, an auditorium game
floor with a stage, showers, kitchen,
facilities and a gallery.
Social center (66 x 55 ft.) will
house a coffee shop, student and
faculty lounges, a bookstore and
post office.
Classrooms and administration
buildings will round out the site.
Total floor space will be approxi-mately
50,000 square feet and
the cost will be around two mil-lion
dollars.
On July 1 of this year, new crews
with heavy equipment will begin
seminary construction. The small
crew of four who worked over the
winter will be joined by a maze of
men and machines that will rapidly
transform the area into the new
campus.

In addition to observing the ath-lete's
unwritten code of avoiding
books, the Bethel Lettermen's club
shattered study hours last Thurs-day
evening with a noisy repeal of
the Emancipation proclamation.
Auctioneer Jerry Wahlstrom sold
two hours of each of thirty-one
athlete's time for bids ranging
from eight cents to $2.10. Two ath-letic
has-beens were sold together
for the largest bid, $6.50.
Coaches Gerald Healy and Dave
Cox beat the bidders and bought
themselves for $3.25 apiece.
They defended their purchase by
saying, "We have a lot of office
work to do, and, besides, we'd do
anything to keep from working."
A variation in normal slave trade
procedures found slave buying
slave. Vern Lewis bought Bruce
Erickson, Erickson bought Doug
King who in turn bought Ken
Hanniwalt. Hanniwalt ended up do-ing
the two hours' work; net gain
through these transactions for the
Lettermen's club, $3.73.
Some athletes commented about
the bids they brought. Don McKel-vey,
who went for eight cents, said,
"They didn't know my qualifica-tions."
Jim Nelson was sold to
Elaine Sundberg for very little.
Nelson said, "Not much you can
say when your own girl buys you
for just $.80.
Vince Bloom once again prov-ed
to be a real asset to Bethel's
athletic program by bringing in
the CLARION Page 3
$2.10 from Eric Borgeson. Bloom
commented on his success before
taking down Eric's storm win-dows,
"I'm happy to be working
for such an able boss."
Violating the Emancipation pro-clamation,
ignoring the "Keep off
the grass" signs, and neglecting
study hours was successful for the
B club. The club netted $38.16.
The money will go for next year's
most valuable player trophies and
other awards.

The most important baseball games of the season are being played
right now. The game is at Austin J. C. which is second in the league,
while Bethel is in front by three games. The conference title may depend
on these games.
Up to now, Moulton and Austin have been the main pitchers.
Moulton has won three and lost one, Austin has won two and lost none.
Kelly, Forsline, Selander and Bloom have each won one and lost none.
Austin leads the team with a .393 batting average, Dickau is second
and Buck third. As a team, the Royals are batting .275. With statistics
like this the team should keep its record of only one loss and take the
conference. Bethel has only Bethany, Concordia and Martin Luther to
meet after today. Martin Luther could be hard to beat, but unless our
team is really down, the other two should add to our list of victories.

Jack Buss, a junior at Bethel, went to Allen Park high school in
Michigan. Jack has been participating in sports since seventh grade. He
won two varsity letters in football and three in track, not to mention
many junior varsity letters in the preceeding sports and basketball.
In track at Allen Park, Jack holds the shot put record at 47' 8".
His senior year he took the conference in the shot. In football, Jack
made honoreable mention in the conference. The teachers at Allen Park
nominated Jack for the Scholar-Athlete award given to one student
from the area schools.
Here at Bethel, Jack has shown again that he can
combine athletics and scholarship. Besides winning
three letters in both football and track, he maintains
a 2.1 h.p.r. He is captain of the track team. The
Quentin Bonne and Baptist Leadership training schol-arships
have all been awarded to Jack in his college
career.
Besides these activities, Jack has served this year
on the religious committee and worked on the student
missions project. Last year he served on the Edgren
dorm council.
After graduating next year, Jack plans to go on to medical school,
either at Michigan or Minnesota. Presently Jack is a natural science

Golfer's Swings
Beat Concordia
The Royal golfers triumphed a-gain
as they squeezed past Con-cordia
of St. Paul last Friday in a
close match. The game was scored
according to "match play," in which
each golfer must win at least five
of nine holes for the match, in-stead
of scoring by the total num-ber
of strokes. Each winner gets
three team points.
Dean Gustafson, faced with a
tough competitor, lost a close
match to his opponent, while
Lindy Nelson won his match in six
holes. Bethel and Concordia were
tied going into the last hole, so
that in order to win, it was neces-sary
for Jerry Oas and Phil Linden
to win their matches. They both
outplayed their opponents and Con-cordia
was shut out. Out of a pos-sible
12 points, Bethel collected 9,
while Concordia picked up only 3.
On Monday the four Royal golf-ers
traveled to Austin and on Fri-day
they will be competing in the
Pioneer conference golf meet
which will be battled out on the
Anoka golf course.

Six schools entered the Bethel
Invitational held at Hamline on
Saturday, May 9, and Bethel emerg-ed
the victor with a point total of
821/2. The other schools competing
and their points were as follows:
Jamestown 61; Pillsbury 46%;
Northland 38; Concordia 23; St.
Paul Bible 10.
Captain Jack Buss led the bar-rage
of field event points with a
heave of 41 ft. 5 in., thereby eras-ing
the old Invitational record by
more than a foot. Stan Miller plac-ed
second with a put of 40 ft.
1/4 in.
In the high jump it was Tim
Williams all the way again, this
time with a jump of 5 ft. 71/2 in.,
missing the Invitational record
by a mere one quarter inch.
The pole vault proved a source
of depth as Ron Bergman leaped
Wednesday, May 13, 1964
11 ft. 1 in. for second place. Ed
Peterman and Dave Bjorlund add-ed
by capturing fourth and fifth
places respectively.
In the hop-step-jump, Peterman
and Bjorklund again placed fourth
and fifth with leaps of better than
37 ft.
The running events were
strong but not as strong as in re-cent
weeks. Purcell, suffering
from a cold, didn't compete in
the mile, but ran the 880 and
won with a time of 2:04.
Third and fourth places were
rounded out by Peterman and
Norman.
In the mile run, Norman and
Rogers pulled second and third
places respectively as once again
the depth factor played an im-portant
role in Bethel's win.
Peterson and Williams placed
second and third in the 440 re-spectively,
and each one came back
to place fifth and second in the
220 yd. dash and 330 yd. inter-mediate
hurdle race respectively.
Dale Rogers took first in the
two mile run with a time of 10:40
and was backed up by Norman and
Peterman in the third and fourth
places.
Bethel cinched the victory in
the concluding events of the day.
The mile relay and sprint medley
were both won by Bethel with
times of 3:49.6 and 3:56.6.
Coach Gene Glader, comment-ing
on both the team effort and
events of the day stated "We had
only six firsts while Jamestown
had seven, but the factor about
which I was so worried at the
beginning of the year came
through." He spoke at length
concerning the fine depth which
Bethel had displayed.
Glader concluded "I'm happy
with the results and for the fact
that a school of our size is able
to make a good showing with other
schools of comparable enrollment."
Many boys showed up at the in-tramural
track meet Saturday, May
2 to put out their best for their
team. The Knights came out on
top by winning the meet with 79
points. The Barons and the Counts
each won 31 and 21 points respec-tively.
Six of the former intramural
track records were broken. Larry
Stair tossed the javelin 134' 3" for
a starter. Bruce Hawkinson slid
over the high jump at 5' 7" to
break a record. Riley Combs broke
two records with a 4:50 minute
mile and a 2:16 minute 880 yard
Gene Peterson won the only
match against Hamline as the Roy-al
netmen went down to a 8-1 de-feat.
The loss gave the Royals a
4-2 record with two meets left to
play.
George •P alke lost the first match
of the day 6-2, 6-0 while Oluf Kong-shaug
lost 6-1, 6-2. Hamline, the
M.I.A.C. powerhouse in tennis,
leads the league with a 6-0 record.
Ed Carlson, the Royal captain,
lost 6-2, 6-3 while Roger Kingsley
and Paul Wicklund were defeated
6-1, 6-2 and 6-2, 6-2 respectively.
dash. Keith Davis ran the 440 in
56.5 seconds and the 880 yard re-lay
was taken by the Knights with
1:49 minutes.
In the other events Denny Gus-tafson
tossed the shot put 35' 1 1/2",
while Gene Weborg gave the dis-cus
a 79' 91/4" trip. Bruce Hawkin-son
won a first place in the broad
jump with an 18' 10" leap. In the
100 yard dash Keith Davis clicked
in a time of 11.6 seconds. Ron
Nelson took the 220 yard dash with
a 25.5 second run. Finally, the
Knights cleaned up the mile relay
with a fine time of 4.32 minutes.
Peterson captured the only victory
in the fifth singles match.
Palke and Wicklund playing the
first doubles match lost 6-2, 6-2
while Kongshaug and Carlson were
defeated 6-3, 6-3. After taking the
first set Peterson and Wendy
Plucker dropped the match by los-ing
the next two sets.
Next Wednesday the Royals tra-vel
to Austin to try to avenge an
early season defeat. Either Friday
or Saturday the Royals will close
their season by participating in
the conference match with North-land,
Northwestern (Minn.) and
Morris at one of the Twin Cities
courts.

Peterson Leads
Chapel Program
The "Becker Amendment" will
be the topic for Dr. Walfred Peter-son's
chapel presentation next Mon-day.
This amendment, introduced by
Representative Frank J. Becker
(Rep.) New York, is intended to
counter the supreme court deci-sion
on the constitutionality of
prayer in public schools, and states
in part:
"Nothing in this Constitution
shall be deemed to prohibit the
offering, reading from or listening
to prayers or biblical Scriptures,
if participation therein is on a yob
untary basis, in any governmental
or public school, institution or
place."
Dr. Peterson, professor of poli-tical
science, will discuss this
amendment in connection with the
traditional Baptist position of re-ligious
liberty and separation of
church and state. He will take a
position opposed to the amend-ment,
standing with the Baptist
Joint committee on Public Affairs
and with most Protestant church
groups.
On the other hand, Catholic
groups, on the whole, have given
their support to the measure and
some evangelicals have spoken in
favor of it.
It is likely that church groups
across the country will be taking
a stand on the issue during the
coming summer months. "For this
reason," Peterson stated, "the col-lege
community should be aware
of what the amendment is."
the same number of credits that

These credits will be transferred

year.
suppositions: the present system is
not conducive to the development
of moral integrity and the power
of peer influence may be used to
build character.
A relatively recent variety of
physical violations reflects the fact
that a significant number of stu-dents
put their personal interests
before those of the group. Evi-dences
of thievery, cheating and
plagiarism are more obvious ex-amples
of the violations of stan-dards
set by the administration and
student government. These actions
make group activities less mean-ingful
and efficient as well as dull
the moral sensitivity of the vio-lator.
More seriously, as David John-son
points out, "The prevailing
attitude seems to excuse and
overlook wrong-doers and justify
as 'acceptable' any behavior not
'caught' by the administration."
This type of self-centeredness
seems alien from the Christian
values we extol.
History reflects the ineptness of
attempts to legislate character. Yet,
President-elect Bob Beckstrom re-minds
that "most educators agree
that the greatest force affecting
the student is peer influence."
The central question is: will this
minimal proposal for group action
develop within individuals the re-medial
character traits we need?
The adoption of the system,
say its supporters, will furnish a
continuing awareness of personal
responsibility. Secondly, the stu-dent
body would receive a larger
voice in disciplinary policy.
The deeper sense of subordina-tion
of personal goals for those of
the community could be influen-tial
in developing value systems of
lasting significance. More tangible
benefits for collegiate days might
include more un-proctored exams,
library privileges and dormitory
freedoms.
The proposal is not intended to
be a quick, easy or complete solu-tion
to the campus moral problems.
The student who refuses the op-portunity
to make more of his own
decisions is merely postponing his
social responsibility. If accepted as
an attitude rather than a system,
it could prove to be a significant
forward step.

Music Festival
The Commencement music fes-tival
is scheduled for Friday even-ing,
May 22, at 8 p.m. in the col-lege
fieldhouse.
The concert this year will fea-ture
the cantata, "The Holy City,"
by Alfred Gaul, and will be pre-sented
by the Festival Choir under
the direction of Oliver Mogck. The
Festival Choir is composed of mem-bers
of college choir, male chorus
and women's choir.
Solo, duet and quartet parts will
be sung by Bethel students and will
include the following: Kent Lund-holm,
Doris Swanson, Pat Jaynes,
Cliff Penner, Frances Malmsten,
Karen Seaberg, Patti Wahlen, La
Von Brauer, Donna Swanson, Vern
Lewis, Marilyn Fahs, Stan Olsen,
Glenda Jorgensen, Coy Hofer and
Gladys Holmberg.
The text of "The Holy City" is
quite largely based on scripture,
particularly those that speak of the
promises of heaven to those that
have trusted Christ as Saviour.
On Thursday, May 21st, Dr.
Walter Wessel will bring a chapel
message on the text of "The Holy
City" for the purpose of enhanc-ing
the understanding of the mes-sage
of this musical presentation.

Campus Needs Changes
Of Proposed Honor Plan
The honor system makes only two major changes from
the present system we live under at Bethel. One, it emphasizes
placing the interests of others above our own and two, it gives
students a voice in disciplinary action and policy. Since these
are the important changes from the status quo, these are the
issues we should consider when voting.
By making each individual responsible for the interests of
all the other students on campus, the honor system under-scores
the Christian principle that the interests and rights of
other people should come before our own. It does this by re-quiring
a violator or an observer to see that violations of other
persons' rights do not go unpunished.
Students are not putting the interests of others before
their own when they cheat on an exam, make noise in the
dorm during study hours or take money from another per-son's
room. When a student does this, he is saying that "my
good grade is more important than the grade of those who
studied for the test; my fun in the dorm is more important
than my roommate's study time; and my having money is
important enough to empty someone else's pocket to get it."
A person who sees someone cheat or steal is probably
not thinking about other people's interests either. For him it
is more important to stay away from the trouble than to keep
someone from robbing others of their test grades, study time
or money.
But you ask, "Do a significant number of people at Bethel
violate the rights of others for their own interests? Maybe we
don't need the honor system." The answer appears to be "Yes."
For example, in Edgren dormitory many valuables have been
stolen this year and in sufficient quantity to prompt a surprise
search by the dormitory council for the stolen goods.
And in Bodien someone has been helping herself to
others belongings. Just last week a gruesome poster hung in
the hall with the caption, "Help Us Stop the Thief!" But in
a day or two the poster was gone and five more dollars had
been taken.
In the academic realm, too, Bethel students put their
own interests above those of others. The results of the Columbia
university questionnaire on disciplinary problems, which a
sampling of 72 Bethel students filled out, suggests that Bethel
has a higher percentage of copying from another student dur-ing
a test, plagiarizing, overcutting classes, underlining or
marking library books and taking books from the library with-out
checking them out than schools of comparable size with
or without an honor system.
From the amount of misappropriation and academic cheat-ing
that goes on at Bethel, perhaps one could safely say that
an honor system that places the responsibility on each individ-ual
for seeing that these things do not go on is needed. The
present system does not seem to encourage students to think
of others' rights and interests before their own.
The other important change an honor system brings to
the campus is a voice for the students in disciplinary action
and policy. Presently faculty and administration can bring
any punishment upon a student, including expulsion, with-out
allowing the student a chance to appeal the decision and
without a set procedure which guarantees a fair hearing or
accurate records of the proceedings.
Under the honor system this situation would be remedied
by standard disciplinary procedure and opportunity for ap-peals
of decisions by lower bodies to the honor board and the
college president. Thus a student could never be punished
without an opportunity to defend himself.
We each have the opportunity to vote on the honor system
May 20 and 21. Many will vote against legalism and squealing
and forget the needed major changes that the system attempts
to make. Although imperfect, the honor system is definitely
needed at Bethel. Let's vote for it.
Letter:
`r Dictionary's Dated
Dear Editor:
The central dictionary in the
library's east lower level is next to
useless. With so many other books
to tote, I, for one, do not find it
convenient to carry an dequate dic-tionary
to the library each time I
study there.
On previous occasions of use, I
had noticed that the dictionary
seemed somewhat dated. However,
when I recently happened to notice
the insert of automobile types be-tween
pages 156-7, I was shocked
—turning to the copyright page, I
was further shocked to see the
date: 1913!
I believe that the tremendous ad-vances
and developments of the
last fifty years should be recogniz-ed
enough to merit the replace-ment
of this antiquated volume,
even if replaced with a briefer edi-tion.

maintaining two touring groups
and expanding the program. A dra-matic
worship program will be add-ed
consisting of oral interpretation,
a mixed quartet, a speech trio and
a pulpit drama.
Pulpit drama is a sermon in dia-logue
form presented by three
men, one representing God (Good),
one the Devil (Evil), and the other
(Humanity). Two sermon topics,
"Salvation" and "Commitment,"
will be used. This worship pro-gram

Rott has expressed his appre-ciation
of the "team" spirit of the
tour groups. He feels this was a big
factor in the success of this year's
tour and will make it possible to
expand and progress even further
next year.

The Minneapolis Choral society
and orchestra, conducted by Robert .
Berglund, will appear in spring
concert at 8 p.m. this Friday, May
15, at the First Baptist church,
1020 Harmon place, Minneapolis.
Roy Schuessler, voice teacher at
the University of Minnesota is the
featured soloist. Kent Lundholm
also has a solo part.
Some of the numbers include
Beethoven's "Hallelujah Chorus"
from the "Mount of Olives," The
"Omnipotence" by Schubert, "Five
Mystical Songs" by R. Vaughan
Williams and Haydn's "The Hea-ven's
are Telling." Among the
chorus are several Bethel faculty
members and students.
collegiate exchange committee. He
stated that the main objective of
such a committee would be to estab-lish
initial contacts with other col-leges
and universities in the im-mediate
area and to "get the ball
rolling for next year."
At the present time, there is
little or no social and intellectual
contact between the colleges and
universities in this area. An in-ter-
collegiate exchange commit-tee
would promote academic and
social exchanges. Halvorsen cited
particularly the possibility of ex-changing
performing groups.
Bob Beckstrom then took the
podium to present the judiciary
board amendment in its revised
form. Shying away from the word
judiciary, the authors changed ju-diciary
board to honor board and
defined its jurisdiction as being a
court of appeals primarily.
As the senate began to discuss
the amendment, Mike Rynkiewich,
made the important point that for
such a system to work every stu-dent
would have to support it, not
just half of the student body.
Lowell Gause, an interested, vo-cal
spectator, then asked "How
does squealing enhance a person's
character?" Dave Johnson, co-au-thor
of the amendment countered
that reporting is basic to the sys-tem.
Students come to Bethel volun-tarily,
understanding the standards
here. Gause replied that the system
appeals to the idealistic student
who believes in the honor system
and the student who halfway likes
to tattle.
Additional comments made
during the evening were that in
operation the system would be
legalistic; the system would also
lead to spiritual competition
among some. Although the sen-ate
passed the amendment 28 to
one with two abstentions, it ob-viously
passed the amendment
only to give the student body
the opportunity to decide whe-ther
or not they want it.
President Sorley closed the meet-ing
with an analysis of the year.
He said that there had been much
"busy work," but that a lot had
been accomplished. Some of these
things were the purchase of a mas-cot,
formation of a publicity com-mittee
(however feeble), sponsor-ing
a United fund drive and co-operating
with the alumni in a
Career week.
This past year the senate also
formed an inter-collegiate ex-

Who's Who List
Who's who this year? Students
selected this year for Who's Who
included five juniors: Mary Bang,
Bob Beckstrom, June Erickson,
Dave Johnson and Judy Van Warn-beke.
Nine seniors are listed in Who's
Who: Ed Carlson, Dean Dahlquist,
Pat Foty, Bryce Krohn, Carole
Lundquist, Dan Martinez, Karen
Neslund, Bob Sorley and Iry Stauf-fer.
This is the third year that
Bethel has participated in the
program sponsored by Who's
Who Among Students in Ameri-can
Universities and Colleges.
The names of these students, a-long
with others from colleges
and universities from around the
nation, will be listed in the or-ganization's
annual publication.
A student-faculty committee does
the initial screening of candidates;,
then these are voted on by the
upperclassmen. The names of
those selected by student ballot-ing
are then sent to the sponsor-ing
organization, which usually ap-proves
all of the candidates chosen
by the school.
Selected students must qualify
in three areas. They must exhibit
leadership or contribution in school
activities, including academic life.
They must evidence good citizen-ship
in campus life. Finally, they
must show promise of future use-fulness.
Student Who's Who functions
for much the same purpose as
Who's Who in America, the or-ganization
which gives recogni-tion
to major leaders in Ameri-can
life. Student Who's Who
gives an opportunity for college
leaders to be recognized on a na-tional
scale.
Students selected to Who's Who
benefit from having their names
listed in a nationally read publica-tion.
This listing can be used as a
reference for future vocational
plans.
New campus plans are nearing fulfillment! Construction will begin on July 1 on the seminary plot,
where six buildings will be erected: a chapel, library, social center, multi-purpose classroom and administra-tion
buildings. The new seminary should be ready for occupancy by September of 1965, and the college by
1967-8.
Seminary Construction
Commences on July 1
Dwight Jessup, Eugene Johnson and President Lundquist discuss
plans for the new campus with the architect. Embodied in these plans
are intangible ideas and characteristics and principles of the Bethel
community, such as variety, spaciousness, unity, openness, originality,
practicality and natural beauty.

Since the ice went out three
weeks ago, the ducks have returned ,
to Lake Valentine, site for Bethel's
new campus. And frolicking goph-ers
come out of their holes.
A hawk soars over the grounds
and the men who are clearing the
grounds have noticed that he has
lost some feathers from his right
wing, perhaps because his appetite
was bigger than his talons.
Those lively evidences of
spring, however, have not ended
a silent winter. The woods and
hills around Lake Valentine
were alive all winter with the
drone of power saws and the
pounding of axes which were
clearing the new seminary site,
where building is scheduled to
begin in July.
The seminary complex will be
located in a small valley which is
about three-quarters of a mile from
the main road. The hills surround-ing
the area are the highest on
campus and command an expansive
view of Lake Valentine.
Six buildings will constitute the
seminary plot. The chapel (80 x 62

0
ft.) with recording studio, lecture
hall, preaching stalls and a sanctu-ary
seating 300 people will domin-ate
the valley.
Seminary library will feature
an informal reading area with a
fireplace and "easy" chairs. A
rather extensive theological col-lection
of 70,000 volumes is plan-ned.
A large (125 x 55 ft.) multi-pur-pose"
building will have a hand-ball
court, an auditorium game
floor with a stage, showers, kitchen,
facilities and a gallery.
Social center (66 x 55 ft.) will
house a coffee shop, student and
faculty lounges, a bookstore and
post office.
Classrooms and administration
buildings will round out the site.
Total floor space will be approxi-mately
50,000 square feet and
the cost will be around two mil-lion
dollars.
On July 1 of this year, new crews
with heavy equipment will begin
seminary construction. The small
crew of four who worked over the
winter will be joined by a maze of
men and machines that will rapidly
transform the area into the new
campus.

In addition to observing the ath-lete's
unwritten code of avoiding
books, the Bethel Lettermen's club
shattered study hours last Thurs-day
evening with a noisy repeal of
the Emancipation proclamation.
Auctioneer Jerry Wahlstrom sold
two hours of each of thirty-one
athlete's time for bids ranging
from eight cents to $2.10. Two ath-letic
has-beens were sold together
for the largest bid, $6.50.
Coaches Gerald Healy and Dave
Cox beat the bidders and bought
themselves for $3.25 apiece.
They defended their purchase by
saying, "We have a lot of office
work to do, and, besides, we'd do
anything to keep from working."
A variation in normal slave trade
procedures found slave buying
slave. Vern Lewis bought Bruce
Erickson, Erickson bought Doug
King who in turn bought Ken
Hanniwalt. Hanniwalt ended up do-ing
the two hours' work; net gain
through these transactions for the
Lettermen's club, $3.73.
Some athletes commented about
the bids they brought. Don McKel-vey,
who went for eight cents, said,
"They didn't know my qualifica-tions."
Jim Nelson was sold to
Elaine Sundberg for very little.
Nelson said, "Not much you can
say when your own girl buys you
for just $.80.
Vince Bloom once again prov-ed
to be a real asset to Bethel's
athletic program by bringing in
the CLARION Page 3
$2.10 from Eric Borgeson. Bloom
commented on his success before
taking down Eric's storm win-dows,
"I'm happy to be working
for such an able boss."
Violating the Emancipation pro-clamation,
ignoring the "Keep off
the grass" signs, and neglecting
study hours was successful for the
B club. The club netted $38.16.
The money will go for next year's
most valuable player trophies and
other awards.

The most important baseball games of the season are being played
right now. The game is at Austin J. C. which is second in the league,
while Bethel is in front by three games. The conference title may depend
on these games.
Up to now, Moulton and Austin have been the main pitchers.
Moulton has won three and lost one, Austin has won two and lost none.
Kelly, Forsline, Selander and Bloom have each won one and lost none.
Austin leads the team with a .393 batting average, Dickau is second
and Buck third. As a team, the Royals are batting .275. With statistics
like this the team should keep its record of only one loss and take the
conference. Bethel has only Bethany, Concordia and Martin Luther to
meet after today. Martin Luther could be hard to beat, but unless our
team is really down, the other two should add to our list of victories.

Jack Buss, a junior at Bethel, went to Allen Park high school in
Michigan. Jack has been participating in sports since seventh grade. He
won two varsity letters in football and three in track, not to mention
many junior varsity letters in the preceeding sports and basketball.
In track at Allen Park, Jack holds the shot put record at 47' 8".
His senior year he took the conference in the shot. In football, Jack
made honoreable mention in the conference. The teachers at Allen Park
nominated Jack for the Scholar-Athlete award given to one student
from the area schools.
Here at Bethel, Jack has shown again that he can
combine athletics and scholarship. Besides winning
three letters in both football and track, he maintains
a 2.1 h.p.r. He is captain of the track team. The
Quentin Bonne and Baptist Leadership training schol-arships
have all been awarded to Jack in his college
career.
Besides these activities, Jack has served this year
on the religious committee and worked on the student
missions project. Last year he served on the Edgren
dorm council.
After graduating next year, Jack plans to go on to medical school,
either at Michigan or Minnesota. Presently Jack is a natural science

Golfer's Swings
Beat Concordia
The Royal golfers triumphed a-gain
as they squeezed past Con-cordia
of St. Paul last Friday in a
close match. The game was scored
according to "match play," in which
each golfer must win at least five
of nine holes for the match, in-stead
of scoring by the total num-ber
of strokes. Each winner gets
three team points.
Dean Gustafson, faced with a
tough competitor, lost a close
match to his opponent, while
Lindy Nelson won his match in six
holes. Bethel and Concordia were
tied going into the last hole, so
that in order to win, it was neces-sary
for Jerry Oas and Phil Linden
to win their matches. They both
outplayed their opponents and Con-cordia
was shut out. Out of a pos-sible
12 points, Bethel collected 9,
while Concordia picked up only 3.
On Monday the four Royal golf-ers
traveled to Austin and on Fri-day
they will be competing in the
Pioneer conference golf meet
which will be battled out on the
Anoka golf course.

Six schools entered the Bethel
Invitational held at Hamline on
Saturday, May 9, and Bethel emerg-ed
the victor with a point total of
821/2. The other schools competing
and their points were as follows:
Jamestown 61; Pillsbury 46%;
Northland 38; Concordia 23; St.
Paul Bible 10.
Captain Jack Buss led the bar-rage
of field event points with a
heave of 41 ft. 5 in., thereby eras-ing
the old Invitational record by
more than a foot. Stan Miller plac-ed
second with a put of 40 ft.
1/4 in.
In the high jump it was Tim
Williams all the way again, this
time with a jump of 5 ft. 71/2 in.,
missing the Invitational record
by a mere one quarter inch.
The pole vault proved a source
of depth as Ron Bergman leaped
Wednesday, May 13, 1964
11 ft. 1 in. for second place. Ed
Peterman and Dave Bjorlund add-ed
by capturing fourth and fifth
places respectively.
In the hop-step-jump, Peterman
and Bjorklund again placed fourth
and fifth with leaps of better than
37 ft.
The running events were
strong but not as strong as in re-cent
weeks. Purcell, suffering
from a cold, didn't compete in
the mile, but ran the 880 and
won with a time of 2:04.
Third and fourth places were
rounded out by Peterman and
Norman.
In the mile run, Norman and
Rogers pulled second and third
places respectively as once again
the depth factor played an im-portant
role in Bethel's win.
Peterson and Williams placed
second and third in the 440 re-spectively,
and each one came back
to place fifth and second in the
220 yd. dash and 330 yd. inter-mediate
hurdle race respectively.
Dale Rogers took first in the
two mile run with a time of 10:40
and was backed up by Norman and
Peterman in the third and fourth
places.
Bethel cinched the victory in
the concluding events of the day.
The mile relay and sprint medley
were both won by Bethel with
times of 3:49.6 and 3:56.6.
Coach Gene Glader, comment-ing
on both the team effort and
events of the day stated "We had
only six firsts while Jamestown
had seven, but the factor about
which I was so worried at the
beginning of the year came
through." He spoke at length
concerning the fine depth which
Bethel had displayed.
Glader concluded "I'm happy
with the results and for the fact
that a school of our size is able
to make a good showing with other
schools of comparable enrollment."
Many boys showed up at the in-tramural
track meet Saturday, May
2 to put out their best for their
team. The Knights came out on
top by winning the meet with 79
points. The Barons and the Counts
each won 31 and 21 points respec-tively.
Six of the former intramural
track records were broken. Larry
Stair tossed the javelin 134' 3" for
a starter. Bruce Hawkinson slid
over the high jump at 5' 7" to
break a record. Riley Combs broke
two records with a 4:50 minute
mile and a 2:16 minute 880 yard
Gene Peterson won the only
match against Hamline as the Roy-al
netmen went down to a 8-1 de-feat.
The loss gave the Royals a
4-2 record with two meets left to
play.
George •P alke lost the first match
of the day 6-2, 6-0 while Oluf Kong-shaug
lost 6-1, 6-2. Hamline, the
M.I.A.C. powerhouse in tennis,
leads the league with a 6-0 record.
Ed Carlson, the Royal captain,
lost 6-2, 6-3 while Roger Kingsley
and Paul Wicklund were defeated
6-1, 6-2 and 6-2, 6-2 respectively.
dash. Keith Davis ran the 440 in
56.5 seconds and the 880 yard re-lay
was taken by the Knights with
1:49 minutes.
In the other events Denny Gus-tafson
tossed the shot put 35' 1 1/2",
while Gene Weborg gave the dis-cus
a 79' 91/4" trip. Bruce Hawkin-son
won a first place in the broad
jump with an 18' 10" leap. In the
100 yard dash Keith Davis clicked
in a time of 11.6 seconds. Ron
Nelson took the 220 yard dash with
a 25.5 second run. Finally, the
Knights cleaned up the mile relay
with a fine time of 4.32 minutes.
Peterson captured the only victory
in the fifth singles match.
Palke and Wicklund playing the
first doubles match lost 6-2, 6-2
while Kongshaug and Carlson were
defeated 6-3, 6-3. After taking the
first set Peterson and Wendy
Plucker dropped the match by los-ing
the next two sets.
Next Wednesday the Royals tra-vel
to Austin to try to avenge an
early season defeat. Either Friday
or Saturday the Royals will close
their season by participating in
the conference match with North-land,
Northwestern (Minn.) and
Morris at one of the Twin Cities
courts.
